Sometimes, damaged teeth can be restored with fillings, dental crowns, or root canals. But in some cases, the best option is to have the tooth extracted. Doing so can protect your surrounding teeth and your overall oral health.
At our Winnipeg dental centre, we offer extraction procedures for decayed teeth, infected teeth, or impacted wisdom teeth. Our tooth extraction services are safe and effective. Here’s a bit more information about what we have to offer:
As a child, you might have removed a loose tooth using your fingers. But extracting a fully-grown molar is a different process altogether. There are two different types of tooth extractions:
Once the tooth is extracted, a blood clot will form in its place. This is an important part of the healing process. To avoid dislodging the blood clot and creating a dry socket, refrain from smoking or using a straw as you recover from your procedure. It typically takes 7-10 days to heal from a tooth removal.
No one wants to lose a tooth. But if that tooth is causing pain, discomfort, and damage to your other teeth, having the tooth extracted may be preferable. Your dentist might recommend a tooth extraction for any of the following reasons:
Following a tooth extraction, the next step is to look at tooth replacement options. With a missing tooth, you may find it difficult to chew certain foods or speak comfortably. You might consider dental implants, dentures, or dental bridges. Talk to your dentist to learn more about tooth replacements.
When wisdom teeth are impacted, you may need to have them extracted even before they emerge above the gum line. During oral surgery, your dentist will make an incision at the gum line to access the tooth.
The roots of your teeth are nearly as unique as your fingerprints. If you have a tooth with an especially long or curved root, oral surgery may be the only way to successfully remove it.
Are you concerned about feeling pain during your procedure? Your dentist will inject local anaesthesia into the surgical site to numb any pain you might feel. You can expect to feel pressure as the tooth is removed, but it shouldn’t be painful. If you prefer, you may even choose to be sedated during your oral surgery.
To promote a healthy mouth, sometimes your best option is to remove an impacted or damaged tooth. It’s an effective way to prevent gum disease, tooth infections, and damage to your other teeth.
